Jeremiah 41:15

IshmaelJohananNethaniah

13 When all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the army with him, they rejoiced,

14 and all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive at Mizpah turned and went over to Johanan son of Kareah.

But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and eight of his men escaped from Johanan and went to the Ammonites.

16 Then Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies with him took the whole remnant of the people from Mizpah whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam: the soldiers, women, children, and court officials he had brought back from Gibeon.

17 And they went and stayed in Geruth Chimham, near Bethlehem, in order to proceed into Egypt
